    We love Little Ollie's, but it was very warm in the restaurant. It was over 100 degrees in Denver that day, and if they were running the AC, it was way too hot inside and they left the front door wide open which was letting hot air inside. And also flies were in the restaurant. I'm not sure why they thought leaving the door open to a very hot day would feel good. We were fighting flies the whole meal...inside! We will still come back, but the front door needs to be kept closed and the AC needs to run in the summer.

    Outstanding experience at Izakaya Den. The best fresh sushi and the most informed service staff, in the competitive sushi market. From the welcoming hostess stand, to the knowledgeable staff, the entire experience is never disappointing. Our routine, is lunch at Sushi Den and dinner at Izakaya Den, as frequently as we can work it into our schedule. A reasonable valet service at the front door or a parking garage across the street, highly recommend the total package of great food, great service and great parking availability.
